Description

Hey Guys,

Today's episode is going to make decluttering your plastic containers one of the easiest wins in your kitchen. We're not doing this based on emotion or guilt — we're doing it based on facts, safety, and what the research actually says about old and degraded plastics.

  • Keep: #1, #2, #5 (in good condition)

  • Toss: Anything pre-2010, cloudy, scratched, warped, lidless, or mismatched

  • Avoid for heat: #1, #2, #4, #5, #7 unless labeled microwave-safe

  • Never use for heat: #3 (PVC), #6 (Styrofoam), older #7

  • To-go containers: Fine for cold storage short-term; don't microwave them and don't keep them for months
